Really not digging the vibe of this game. Look, I like 1984 as much as the next guy, but all these OMGZ THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU REBEL REBEL!!! games are starting to run together. I much preferred Infamous' comic book vibe.

Okay just got some more info on this game and the reasoning behind the "OMGZ THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU REBEL REBEL!!!"

Setting the scene: It’s been seven years since the Cole McGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called “bio-terrorist” is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) — a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet – And decides he’s not going to go quietly.

So basically 7 years have passed and the government is being careful so that an event as catastrophic as the ones that occured in inFamous 1 and 2 don't occur again. Theres a reasoning behind it!!

Read it all here (Even though you prolly don't, and never will, care about PS games)

So... if I'm not happy with the changes made to a franchise I enjoy I hate all Sony games?  I played through and enjoyed both Infamous games.  They can have all the rationale they want for why the game is like that, but to me this particular well has dried up.  I'm not saying a government crackdown on conduits is an illogical plot following Infamous 1 or 2, but between Mirror's Edge, DMC, Republique, Bioshock, and so on, I'm getting over the Orwellian trend in gaming. 



So what's his super power, particle effects?

haha you are not the only one..I was like wtf. The guy who presented it did a poor job really...should have kept it it clean and simple. And he definitely should have said what you are about to see was captured in-game.

I mean can you just imagine..this is going to be OPEN WORLD! 0_0

I'm assuming this is Cole's second son?
Out of all the 1st party games shown, this was the most impressive. Day 1 for me. Loved the first two.


I think it's Cole's brother. 

taken from the PSBlog:

"Delsin Rowe is the star of Second Son, and you probably know someone like him: A 24 year-old who is absolutely convinced he’s destined for greatness; though so far that greatness has managed to elude him. He grew up just outside Seattle, where his great – if accidental – calling comes crashing into his life. After rescuing occupants from a fiery bus wreck, he discovers that he suddenly has the ability to direct, manipulate and even transform into… Smoke. Could he have absorbed this power from one of the passengers he pulled from the wreckage?

Setting the scene: It’s been seven years since the Cole McGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called “bio-terrorist” is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) — a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet – And decides he’s not going to go quietly.

Along the way, Delsin is going to ask questions that are not just relevant to the world of Second Son – but to the world we all live in today. A world where we are often instructed to surrender our freedoms to help improve our security. Ben Franklin once wrote “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Is he right?"

The second son is a reference, I think, to the organization of InFamous 1 and 2, the First Sons, do you remember it?
